Lea Michele delivers a night of exquisite moments at Philadelphia's Merriam Theater
Posted by Allen Foster on May 2, 2017
Philadelphia's Merriam Theater is a historic venue located in the heart of the arts district of Center City. Since 1918, this gorgeous 1,870-seat cultural paragon has hosted some of the most iconic productions and featured some of the most beloved and esteemed performers of all time. From George Gershwin musicals to Hamlet, notables such as John Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Katharine Hepburn, Sammy Davis Jr., Angela Lansbury, and Laurence Olivier have all graced this celebrated stage.
Last night, Monday, May 1, 2017, the elegantly attired vocalist, Lea Michele, took her rightful place as part of that elite list of extraordinary entertainers when she kicked off her tour to a capacity crowd. Her immaculate set featured songs pulled from both her just released Places album and her debut, Louder, as well as choice selections from Glee. In between songs, the charismatic artist engaged her audience with stories and wickedly fun, off-the-cuff interactions with fans who continually professed their love and admiration for the artist throughout the entire evening.
Backed by five accomplished musicians — three strings, drums, and a keyboard —Lea's voice was always the effortless star. She was an absolutely adorable diva who playfully "demanded" such amenities as hot tea to keep her voice ever flawless while she performed.
Over the course of the evening, there were numerous times when the impassioned roar of cheers completely overwhelmed the venue's impressive sound system making it feel like The Beatles had just taken the stage at The Ed Sullivan Show. However, the moment the crowd absolutely lost it was when Lea brought out her good friend Jonathan Groof (Frozen, Hamilton, Glee, Spring Awakening) and the pair performed "Rolling in the Deep," a song the TV couple had performed together on Glee.
That attention to emotional detail is what made Lea Michele's show so perfect. She has a way of creating unforgettable moments. The night was filled with goosebumps, laughter, tears of joy, and love… both for Lea and from her. She is a remarkably delightful spark of brilliance who is unfathomably talented and possesses a kind heart. As a performer, she is truly in a league of her own. On her new album, you can hear the talent and feel her heart, but to experience the full Lea, you need to see her live.
Current list of remaining dates for Lea Michele's "Intimate Evening" tour:
May 3 – Boston, MA – Shubert Theater
May 4 – Ledyard, CT – The Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino
May 6 – Toronto, ON – Massey Hall
May 8 – Seattle, WA – Moore Theatre
May 10 – San Francisco, CA – Palace of Fine Arts

Diabetes used to be a terminal condition, but advances in modern medicine have allowed those suffering from diabetes to live long and full lives. Now, as technology continues to advance and become more integrated with medicine, treating the condition is becoming more convenient and accurate. If you're living with diabetes, some of the best innovations in diabetes management can help you in your day-to-day life. These four modern advances in diabetes treatment technology are worth exploring as they become available now and in the near future.
Thanks to needle-free developments in blood sugar testing, you soon won't have to worry about sticking your fingertips daily any longer. According to StatNews.com, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a test in 2017 that can monitor blood sugar levels continuously. This test uses a small sensor that's attached to the upper arm to monitor blood sugar. Real-time glucose results can be given day and night, and a touchscreen feature allows you to monitor trends in blood sugar readings over a 90-day period. For those who have calloused fingers and are tired of keeping endless supplies of testing strips, this can be a real life-changer in treating diabetes.
Unfortunately, many in the past and a few in the present suffer kidney failure caused by their diabetes. If you rely on a dialysis machine to purify your blood, there are technologically advanced dialysis machines on the market already that can make the job easier. The Baxter Dialysis Machine is just one example of a revolutionary product that's both portable and comes with remote monitoring features. Voice guidance on some of these machines also makes them easier to operate. Best of all, many of the newest machines allow you to perform peritoneal dialysis in the comfort of your home. This is a major advancement from previous treatment options that necessitated regular appointments to a specialized clinic.
Another needle-free solution is the insulin inhaler, which works like an asthma inhaler and allows you to get insulin into your bloodstream by simply breathing in a fine powder through your nose. The insulin powder is absorbed through the lung alveoli and passes through neighboring capillaries into the bloodstream quickly. Color coding on the inhaler makes adjusting insulin doses easier. An insulin inhaler will be especially good to use just before eating. Combined with needless blood sugar testing technologies, a relatively needle-free future is in view for those suffering from diabetes.
Researchers are working to develop a smart insulin patch that will offer an even simpler way for people to get their needed insulin. The patch is expected to work by delivering insulin through small painless needles whenever low oxygen levels indicate that blood glucose has risen and insulin is needed. Sensors in the patch will be able to provide the right amount of insulin to balance blood sugar. While patches for insulin pumps are already available, a smart patch would take this one step further and allow for a more automated treatment, rather than manually tracking and adjusting blood sugar levels throughout the day. This will especially help those families who have young children with diabetes and struggle to keep up with the tracking needs to maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Maintaining steady blood sugar levels is essential to preventing degenerative diseases in those suffering from diabetes. With ongoing advances, however, these technological innovations can make it possible for you to achieve the same levels of blood sugar stability as those without a damaged pancreas or insulin resistance. Make sure to keep up to date with these and other advances as they come into the market and discuss treatment options with a diabetes clinic so that you can take full advantage of modern medical technology.

A book that has long been a standard for developmental physical education returns in a new, thoroughly updated edition with a sharpened focus on preparing tomorrow's physical educators to deliver developmentally appropriate lessons and activities for children in pre-K through grade 5.
Developmental Physical Education for All Children, now in its fifth edition and available in both print and e-book versions, takes a student-focused, comprehensive approach in preparing future teachers to create programs that enable children to gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions vital to leading a physically active lifestyle.
This new edition is the first in more than a decade, with revisions and updates that make it like a brand-new book—one that maintains its solid foundations and instruction while equipping teachers for success in the 21st century.
Future and current teachers will learn the research and theory behind this developmentally sound approach, which emphasizes movement skills and increased physical competence based on the developmental levels of pre-K through fifth-grade students. The first half of the book covers the learner, the movement content, the learning environment, and the instructional design; the second half provides detailed standards-based learning experiences, which are now organized by developmental level.
The concluding section offers two chapters on professionalism in the 21st century, giving teachers a conceptual framework to prepare and implement a developmental, standards-based scope and sequence for pre-K through grade 5 physical education and offering advice on staying current, being professionally involved, and advocating for comprehensive school physical activity.
The result of this comprehensive overhaul of a standard classic is that both future and current teachers will be prepared and equipped to provide high-quality developmental physical education that can help children be physically active now and throughout their lives.

I have idea on the disaster science fiction movie and I am looking someone who write to him screenplay and will find director and producer. The only thing I want in return it be co-writer.
I'm not trying to be cruel.
Many people want to give a writer an idea, and "it's such a good idea and you write it, and find a writer, producer, and funding, and a director and a crew, and actors, and an editor, get the movie made and we'll split the resulting millions of dollars 50/50."
That whole concept is tossed around hollywood so much it is now a really bad joke among screenwriters.
But, in reality, none of that matters. What matters is having a 110 page script with a commercially successful plot, some years, and a lot of luck.
The Dramatica software here will help you write that script. Or go out and seek any of dozens and dozens of books that will teach you to write that script.
Then you can have complete control of the project, because co-writing a script with someone is potentially walking into a legal, emotional, and financial minefield.


Finding the best EcoPayz betting sites is easier said than done. Depending on your current whereabouts, it might be of great importance to you, but not necessarily. Nevertheless, there's a good share of UK punters that have long ago fallen in love with it, and don't like looking for other options. So why it can be a struggle finding the best ecoPayz bookmakers? Mainly, because there aren't so many of them.
As usual, first we're going to show you the top 5 online betting sites that accept this e-wallet, and then we're going to take a closer look at EcoPayz.
How to Deposit with EcoPayz at Online Sportsbooks?
Note, these are our top 5 picks, based on their overall qualities. Yet, they all have one thing in common, EcoPayz! They are able to either pay out winnings via EcoPayz, or they accept EcoPayz deposits. In case you want to get "personal & professional" with them, check out the respective betting site review.
If you're not interested in EcoPayz's features and flaws, head over at Coral right away. Your EcoPayz deposit is most welcomed! Unfortunately, if you're a bonus, or a free bet hunter, you will have to look for a different deposit options. UK customers are welcome to join and start betting!
Another great betting site which is readily waiting for your first EcoPayz deposit is 10Bet. It also holds a license by the UKGC, and its operations are completely in line with what the authorities dictate. It's been around for quite some time, although it's not a brand as recognizable as 888 or Bet365 for example.
The minimum qualifying deposit is €15/$20/£15 or other currency equivalent.
Best EcoPayz Bookie – William Hill!
Last, but by all means not least is William Hill. A brands that can single-handedly entertain an entire nation with betting of all kinds, it has to be William Hill. It has one of the best sportsbooks in the world, and yes, you can deposit with your EcoCard. Surprisingly, but other top-tier brands are not very fond of EcoPayz. If security is your biggest concern, head over to William Hill without having any second doubts.
How to Deposit with EcoPayz at Online Betting Sites?
Punters who have used e-wallets in the past are well familiar with what they should do. However, for the "new ones on the block", here's a step by step guide on how to deposit with EcoPayz at betting sites. Note, this guide can be of help even if you're depositing with other popular e-wallets. It's not rocket science!
Join any of the aforementioned online bookmakers.
Verify your Email BEFORE You make the deposit.
You can now place your first REAL MONEY BET!
The depositing procedure can't be too far from these 8 steps. Sure, some might ask for your EcoPayz details before you insert the amount you wish to deposit. But, that's pretty much it. The interface is standard, much like PayPal.
Back in the days, it was all about credit and debit cards. Nowadays, e-wallets and direct online banking payment providers have almost fully taken over. Take for instance EcoPayz. It quickly became a key payment provider for punters from several markets. A market as robust as the United Kingdom is not easily shifted, yet it managed to make an impact. But, why?
In case you missed it, here's why these matter and how they impact both the casual and the passionate sport aficionado.
EcoPayz makes this possible, takes to its capability to provide instant, immediate transfer of money. Punters who are into live betting in particular can definitely relate to this. Instant deposits matter. This one of the main reasons why checks are a thing of the past.
Speaking of checks, here's another reason why they've slowly, but surely left the online betting scene. Most e-wallets, if not all, can act as withdrawal methods. It might sound as important to you, but once the time comes for that, hopefully for a juicy withdrawal, you will want this. However, some bookies can force their trusted customers to withdraw via bank transfer, but this has become increasingly rare in recent times.
The United Kingdom is the focal point, the key market of the majority of reputable online bookmakers. On top of this, it's the birthplace of some of the most widely available payment providers. Although it's not the point EcoPayz's genesis, eventually it made its services available to the general UK public. Both UK betting sites and UK punters have realized it can make a change.
We mentioned earlier how credit cards and debit cards have been cast into the shadow of e-wallets and online banking providers. They're pushed away because they're prone to identity theft and credit card frauds. No wonder the term the community coined in the past is "credit card fraud". An easy and simple way to guarantee you will not be bothered by any 3rd party threats is to not use them. EcoPayz is an alternative that CAN be considered, but it's safe to say it's not a staple for online bettors.
Then again, there's no perfect payment solution, one that fits everyone's criteria. And, in our opinion, there will never be one. We can cut EcoPayz some slack, because it's proven to be a vital component at several important bookies in spite of its flaws. As many of you know, e-wallets share most disadvantages, it's in their nature.
We hate saying it, but the fees can overwhelm some of you. An untrained eye, or a punter who just joined the online betting community may not find them so. Here's an example, say you usually bet £5 on fivefolds. That's ONE bet slip. Over a given time span, EcoPayz will eat away one bet slip, if you deposit frequently. It's in your best interest to keep the transaction fees as low as possible. One thing's for sure, regardless of which payment solution you opt for, you will have to pay some fees eventually.
Note, these fees are not charged by the bookie. These fees are charged by EcoPayz as a SERVICE CHARGE.
Yes, they boldly charge an additional service fee, on top of the one charged by EcoPayz. Unlike the SERVICE CHARGE by EcoPayz, this is an administrative fee. Bookies try to cut costs on staff by incentivizing their customers to withdraw as rarely as possible. This is a big no-no in our rule book. Withdrawals should be free of charge! Some big time bookies defend this standpoint by claiming they're barely breaking even.
EcoPayz is not a giant in the financial service industry, the likes of Skrill or NETELLER, or even Paysafecard. Ergo, it cannot mandate special client rules which would change EcoPayz's B2B bargaining position.
Unless you're about to place your first ever real money bet, or you're about to make your first deposit at an online betting site, you know that e-wallet depositors are usually excluded from bonus deals. At the moment, this applies by default to UK punters.
Why is this the case? Due to the high volume of refunds and malicious activities, bookmakers and online gaming operators have changed the bonus terms for the welcome bonus deals, such as free bets on first deposit, enhanced odds or any other promotions for new customers. Most punters cave in and make their first deposit with a credit card. After all, nothing beats a free bet.
There are other payment alternatives who will bring you that welcome bonus, yet you do not have to settle with a credit card deposit.
At the end of the day, EcoPayz might not be your first pick on your priority list. If you're asking us, our personal favorite is none other but PayPal. The list of arguments is a long one indeed. It's been a punter favorite in recent times. The new generations who are just discovering the full potential of online sports betting and even horse racing, love PayPal! Sure, some veteran punters still reach for their wallets and use their credit cards, just because that's the way they've been doing it for so long.
Ideally, if PayPal is not available in your country (which is not that uncommon), we recommend Trustly. It started as a smalltime Swedish payment provider, but it quickly grew into one of the most easily recognizable payment solutions at online sportsbooks.
Online sports betting enthusiasts who are concerned about their privacy and their safety on the Internet can opt for Prepaid Cards. Payment solutions like Paysafecard, and Neosurf amongst a few others can make a difference, and be the stepping stone to online betting!

The less explored foreign policy options & the connection between TAPI-CPEC and Afghanistan

By Nasurullah Brohi
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of the Central Asia Republics
(CARs), the countries with their huge economic potential have been less explored foreign policy options of Pakistan. Despite the fact that being located in the same region and exceptionally sharing common characteristics, the geo-political and geo-economic importance of Pakistan and CARs could naturally stimulate the two sides to reach out to each though.
Pakistan has always sustained a hope to become a gateway to the Central Asia but the occasional efforts, the two sides have not been so successful to forge closer political and economic relations and even after a period of three decades, Pakistan is yet to make any breakthrough into the Central Asian region. Even though their immense richness in term of energy and other natural resources, Pakistan could not benefit at the required levels at least to address its energy issues through the bilateral relations with these countries. The gas fields of the Uzbekistan are also overlooked whereas if the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) connected with the CPEC, the region can linkup the natural gas resources of Uzbekistan that could easily overcome the Pakistan's energy crisis and would help boosting the ties of the country with all the states in Central Asian region. The Central Asian region vastly rich in untapped natural resources and being landlocked-having no sailing route and sea connection with the rest of the world is actually one of the foremost drawbacks that also decrease the chances of the trade and exports the resources from this region. Even located at the immediate neighborhood, the South Asian region is colossally energy-starved.
However, together with the Gwadar Port of Pakistan and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project there is incomparable potential to spectacularly make over the regional dynamics in terms of trade and investment and the development. It would be without any exaggeration to actually call it a game changer that would of course uplift the lives of about 3 billion people across China, Central Asia, South Asia and the Middle East. The Gwadar and the CPEC have outstandingly brought the strategic and economic moments in favor of Pakistan and has twisted a wide range of opportunities for the country where it has assumed the position of economic pivot for the whole region.
The Central Asian States also utter enthusiasm of a regional linkage and eagerly are desirous to benefit from the projects that will remarkably assist in connecting the Central Asian countries for trading and exporting their energy resources to the European markets. Moreover, with the advent of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the regional geopolitics has also assumed new characteristics where the region and their people are going to be better connected than ever before. Notably, during the recent visit of Turkmenistan's President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in March 2016, the two sides keenly agreed to overcome their detachment and explore the options on enhancing trade, economic relations, energy sharing, people-to-people contacts and the tourism. The particular focus also remained on the timely completion of the projects of extraordinary importance ranging from the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline to Dushanbe's potential linkup with the CPEC. Moreover, the unique geo-economic and geo-political significance of both sides, Pakistan and Turkmenistan decided to pay special attention to establishing air, road and rail links on a priority basis.
The greater interests of the two sides link with the TAPI and the CPEC that would further move forward to improve the regional connectivity and serve the economic activity. The emergence of the CPEC is unusually an incomparable trade route to discover the potential or the region besides; Pakistan's accession to the TIR (international road transport) convention is another surplus opportunity whereas; the TAPI could provide crucial linkage to CPEC. Nevertheless, with the initiation of the CPEC Project, the manifold options have increased the optimism about Pakistan benefitting from lucrative foreign trade and investment whereas, the Central Asian states into jumping aboard as well.
Finally, to make the long cherished dreams resounding success, the reality lies with the facts of regional peace and stability. Nevertheless, the chaotic security situation in Afghanistan is purely a factor that could seriously undermine and hinge the linkage between Pakistan and the Central Asian States. The instable political and security situation in Afghanistan has gloomy repercussions for the rest of the region and the main reason for the delay in timely execution TAPI project conceived since 1990s. Aware of its importance Pakistan considers the TAPI project a 'trailblazing project' that enables the region to become an energy hub and source of diplomatic networking but however, all possible efforts should be made to address the Afghan issue at priority basis. The region's economic development mainly depends on the fact that TAPI will only work if there is peace and stability in Afghanistan since the pipeline will pass through northeastern part of the Afghanistan.

The best way to learn about and start to practice Mettatations is to come to one of our workshops. You can also watch one of the many videos on the website or on our YouTube channel (I'll be recording new better quality videos soon).
There will be no regular classes between June 29th - July 8th, but you can schedule a private or one-on-one session directly with Steven.
Select 'classes' and choose your class/time.
Check our schedule below for additional times and locations.
There are several different Mettatation workshops and classes. The "Introduction to Mettatations" class/workshop will help introduce you to the practice and teach you the basics. Once you are familiar with the practice, the regular Mettatations classes will then allow you to explore a little deeper and develop a better connection with your mind, body, and heart. The 'Going Deeper' Mettatations classes will be more introspective classes where you can really explore what is going on inside your mind, body, and heart so that you can heal, cultivate, and develop. There will also be Special Mettatation workshops/classes which will focus on a specific theme or topic to help people deal with different issues such as: depression, or loss of a loved one, or dealing with change, etc. You can learn more about each type of class below.
All Mettatation classes will help you cultivate positive thoughts, emotions, energy, with the focus on turning them into positive actions in your life. Mettatations actively help you connect and cultivate positive virtues - Peace, Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Strength, Gratitude, and Wisdom.
Mettatations are truly your practice. They are completely open and customized practices so that you can tune into yourself and do what you need for your body, mind, and spirit. Mettatations are easy to learn and do, and are designed to make you feel more peace and happiness in your life.
Mettatations are completely new practices, so the introductory class will walk you through the six different foundations of the practice - positive psychology, meditation, pranic breath work, yoga, movement, and touch. You will then learn the integrated Mettatation practice and how to connect deeper with your mind/body/heart and how to cultivate more positive thoughts, emotions, and virtues in your life. At the end of the class/workshop you will be able to cultivate more Peace, Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Strength, and Wisdom in your life at any time. The introductory class will open the doorway to developing a deeper connection with yourself.
Once you've learned how to Mettatate, you can start to go deeper within and explore your own mind, body, and heart. The core Mettatation classes are about examination and cultivation. You will learn how to decrease your negative emotions and reactions and replace those behaviors with cultivating practices, building strength and resilience. You will increase your capacity for 'emotional hygiene,' emotional healing, emotional development, and emotional connection. You will also start noticing more peace and happiness in all aspects of your life.
As you start to connect, listen, and develop your mind, body, and spirit, you can really start to cultivate deeper levels of peace and happiness in your life. By going deeper you are able to heal and grow from examining and fixing core personal issues that may be holding you back. You will know how to cultivate the positive actions and thoughts you need for the moment and live a happier more fulfilling life. Mettatating can be integrated into every moment of your day and you will notice a significant positive shift in every area of your life. As you 'go deeper' you learn what it means to truly love and take care of yourself and to build stronger, better, more positive relationships with everyone.
There will be special Mettatation classes that focus on a specific theme or topic. We will hold special classes focusing on depression, lossing a loved one, accepting change, and more. We will also have special classes for kids, for women, elderly adults, for people with autism/aspbergers, and more. If there is a specific issue or group that you would like to see a class built around let us know.

Amanda Gorman Parents, Height, Weight, Family, Love Life, Net Worth
Amanda Gorman is the first women Youth Poet Laureate of the United States. She grew up as a voracious reader and writer and, at 16, completed her first book of poetry. She has published two chapbooks of poetry and is currently working on a collection of short stories. Thousands of fans are curious to know Amanda Gorman parents because she once told that her mother supported her to become what she is today. So, let's discuss and find out everything about her.
Amanda Gorman Parents
Amanda Gorman was born to a single mother named Joan Wicks. Her father's name is unknown, and she doesn't reveal anything about her father. It is believed that her father left her mother when she was not born.
Her mother raised her while also doing a full-time job as a teacher in a local school. Amanda once revealed that her mother is the one that supported her throughout her life, and she is the only reason behind her success.
Age and Date of Birth
On March 7th, 2022, Amanda celebrated her 24th birthday with her mom. She was born in 1998 in Los Angeles and currently lives on the west side of LA.
Amanda Gorman is 5 feet 5 inches tall which equals 1.6 meters or 160 in cm. Her weight is approximately 55 kg which equals 121 lbs.
Early Life and Childhood
Amanda Gorman grew up with her single mother in Los Angeles, California. She is American by nationality and belongs to a mixed ethnic group.
She has received her early education from a local high school where her mother was a teacher. Later on, she started her higher education at Harvard College and University.
Not much is known about Gorman's family, but she has said that she had a happy childhood despite the loss of her father. She grew up in an affluent area of Los Angeles with her mother, who taught kindergarten at the time.
Gorman was born with a speech impediment. At the age of five, she underwent surgery for a tumor in her jaw, which caused her to undergo extensive speech therapy.
Gorman was raised in an artistic family and started writing poetry at the age of five years old. She credits her mother's love of reading as one of the main reasons she became interested in writing poetry at such a young age. Her first poem, "Monster's Food," was published in a children's magazine when she was just seven years old.
Writing Career & Achievements
Amanda is known for her poetry that focuses on the issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization. At the age of just 19, she became the first national youth poet laureate for the United States. This triggers her fans to get curious about Amanda Gorman parents. But as mentioned above, she is the daughter of a single mother who was a school teacher.
Her mother taught her to read when she was just three years old and encouraged her love of writing. In addition to being a writer herself (she has written two books), Gorman's mother started an organization called "WriteGirl" that helps women hone their writing skills through mentoring programs.
Gorman has also been honored as one of Time Magazine's most influential people and one of Oprah Winfrey's emerging visionaries.

She has competed nationally as a spoken word artist and has recited her poetry at over 100 venues worldwide, from the Library of Congress to the Hollywood Bowl.
She won the Harry Potter Alliance's Global Wizard Rock EP of the Year award in 2018. Her work has been published in Teen Vogue and The Huffington Post, among other publications.
Personal Life: Boyfriend and Love Life
Besides being a poet, she is an activist who stole the show at President Joe Biden's inauguration. Gorman dazzled the crowd with her poem "The Hill We Climb," which impressed many people, including new First Lady Jill Biden, former President Barack Obama, and more.
She doesn't discuss her family much in interviews or on social media, but she does refer to them when discussing her childhood battle with a speech impediment.
Amanda Gorman is not married yet, but there are rumors that she is dating an Italian journalist whose name is unknown. The couple has been dating for the last 2 years, but they have never been seen in public. But, upon asking her, she rejected all the rumors and said that she is single and she's doesn't have any plans to get into a relationship this year.
She has not revealed much about her personal life yet. She hasn't talked about her dating history or past relationships as well. That is why it is strongly believed that she is currently single and more focused on her career right now.
Amanda's net worth is believed to be around $2 million. She earns money by writing for different channels, newspapers, books, and shows. Her major income source is writing poems for newspapers and magazines. Currently, she earns more than $45k per month by writing and appearing as a guest on different literature events and tv shows.

If you are familiar with the Microsoft Visual C++ topics then there are many leading companies that offer job roles like Sr. Software Engineer - Windows Developer, Customer Service/ Call Center - Client Relationship, C++ MFC vC++ Developer, Windows Developer - C++/Visual C++ Development, Visual C++ Developer along with that there are many other roles too. For more details on Microsoft Visual C++ jobs visit our website www.wisdomjobs.com.
Question 1. Explain About The Function Regex?
This defines a template to parse certain regular expressions. It also defines several classes and functions to search text that is matching a regular expression object. There are many declarations, type definitions, template functions, and operator.
Question 2. Explain About Regex_search Function?
Regex_search function searches for a regular expression. A true function is returned only when the search in its operand sequence succeeds. It also defines the various capture groups in the regular expression. Some of the parameters are alloc, Elem, RXtraits, etc.
Question 3. Discuss About The Stack Based Buffer Over Run Detection In Vc++?
Stack based buffer over run protects the program from executing malicious code. Function epilogue code checks the returned cookie for similarity if there is a mismatch it stops executing the code. It also moves around the stack which makes the data corruption harder. These features are present in Visual C++ 2005. It also mitigates various buffer over runs through memory decrease.
Question 4. Describe About Unordered_map?
Unordered_map defines container template classes such as unordered map and unordered multimap template. Under declarations unordered map Class and unordered multimap class are defined. These classes store hash table.
Question 5. Can We Declare A Static Function As Virtual?
The virtual function mechanism is used on the specific object that determines which virtual function to call. Since the static functions are not any way related to objects, they cannot be declared as virtual.
Question 6. What Are All The Situations Where The /gs Compiler Is Not Applied?
These are the following situations where /GS compiler is not applied.
It is obvious when functions are defined to have a variable argument list it cannot create a static cookie.
If functions are marked with a naked keyword such as (C++) etc a GS compiler cannot be created.
Question 7. State Some New Features Which Are Incorporated Into Microsoft Visual C++ 2008?
Some of the new features which are introduced to VC++ are a large set of new MFC classes which will certainly help in building modern user interfaces. TR1 is the major addition to the pack of VC++. This also has new user interface, adjustable panes, and support for Microsoft office ribbon, controls, dialog boxes and windows.
Question 8. Explain About Cframewnd?
Question 9. Explain About Tuple In Visual C++?
Tuple defines instances of objects in varying types. Declarations, template functions and functions are defines in tuples. In class there are three elements they are tuple class, tuple size Class and tuple element Class are defined in Visual C++.
Question 10. Explain About Typedef?
A type predicate takes one or more arguments and it is a template. If a type predicate is true it is publicly derived directly or indirectly from true type def. In case it is false it is publicly derived from false type def.
Question 11. Explain About Frames?
Frame describes about the borders, dimensions and location of the window. Two types of MFC applications are present which use a frame. Application using frames use a concept known as Document/View architecture. This architecture allows a certain program to be present in applications.
Question 12. What Is The Disadvantage Of A Template Function?
Question 13. Explain About Utility?
Utility function has several general templates and can be used in Standard template library. Some of them are tuple element Class which is used to wrap the type of pair element. Get function is used to get an element from the pair object. Tuple size class wraps the pair element count.
Question 14. Explain About Cwinthread Class?
If you want to provide a window to an application it is imperative to create a thread which can be done using CWinThread. A public member variable is used with CWinThread is m_pMainWnd. The main advantage which you can get when using this thread, it terminates the application without any hassles.
Question 15. Explain About Initapplication()?
To display an output for a certain application programmers have to use InitApplication() method. InitApplication is a Boolean method. This function outputs a true if an application gets succeeded. If it did not succeed it displays a false command. Applications rely on this method to display a certain o/p.
Question 16. What Is Carchive Class Does?
This class helps to do the serialization and de-serialisation. storing of objects from and to disk storage. The CArchive class allows user to save a complex objects to the permanent storage (usually disk storage) binary format. This objects persists after those objects are deleted. Later you can load the objects from permanent storage, reconstituting them in memory.
Question 17. What Is The Use Of Afx_manage_state ?
Question 18. What Problem Does The Namespace Feature Solve?
Question 19. Explain About Vc++?

What global city is home to the second largest port in the world, 3700 American businesses, but spans only 255 square miles? Singapore. A city, country and region that former United States Ambassador to Singapore Kirk Wagar says Americans should be thinking more about.
View from the East
Ambassador Wagar, who served under President Barack Obama, spoke at Pipeline Brickell last week. He sparked a conversation on society, education systems and the steps needed to make Miami a truly global city. The former ambassador reflected on his experience in Asia and what he learned about the US from his experience abroad: "What really makes the United States stand out from the rest of the world is its capacity for creativity, innovation, diversity and fun," Wagar reflected. But on a local level, Miami still has room to grow if it wants to be a recognized global city like Singapore. "The Lion City" is known for its innovation in business and tech, refined education system and prosperous population (Singapore has the highest percentage of millionaires in Asia!).
The Secret to Singaporeans' Success
Singapore operates like a well-oiled machine. The secret to its success is very simple: the country finds the smartest people they can and recruits them into public office. This is why Ambassador Wagar says, "South and Southeast Asia are not on people's minds enough." Most people only think of China when they think of Asia, but the Singapore post is the second most requested in the world for diplomats.
The Singapore skyline at night, featuring the "Singapore Flyer" ferris wheel.
How did Singapore reach this level of prominence? Singapore is paranoid about not reaching its potential. The country commits from the start. It has an education system that consistently tops international rankings. Singapore has championed technology to increase efficiency—self-driving cars were first tested in Singapore; the country has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any country in the world; and with 3700 American businesses, Singapore has become a beacon for American companies looking to expand and develop in Asia.
Miami's Potential
By the same token, Miami—full of international investors and businesses, beautiful beaches and a hub for arts, entertainment and pop culture—is budding, yet raw. In a way, it's the Singapore of our region. Yet, Ambassador Wagar argues, "Miami needs to consider that 95% of its marketplace is outside its borders."

The Historic Center housed at the Santa Fe Railway Depot Complex is proud to boast a number of important regional, local, and railroad artifacts. Outside the depot sits a circa 1954 caboose, completely restored including brakemen seats, Conductor's desk, and folding seat/beds, of course the traditional cast iron stove remains in the old caboose, allowing visitors to picture the caboose crew warming their hands, coffee and cooking supper in the traditional way. The caboose was donated to the Historic Society by the Santa Fe Railway, now the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and was permanently placed on the depot property by volunteers. Also included on the site is a diesel utility car utilized by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. It is often the center of attention of our young visitors who climb aboard and enjoy an imaginary journey down the railroad tracks to exotic destinations.
Lee County is located in the extreme southeast corner of Iowa. With a total of 522 square miles, it is mostly agricultural with the major acreage in farms. The Des Moines River flows southeasterly along the southern border, the Mississippi river flows south along the eastern border and the Skunk River flows southeasterly along part of the northern border of the county. The land along the rivers is forested and steep.
Lee County was first defined in 1836, with the final boundaries established in 1838. Fort Madison was named as the county seat, but due to much disagreement and numerous votes, a second court jurisdiction was established in Keokuk in 1847, and the county seat was divided with deputies at the offices in Keokuk. All land south of the Half-Breed line, except the east half of Jefferson Township, is recorded at Keokuk, and the remainder of the county at Fort Madison. (The Half-Breed line, also known as Sullivan's line, is the easterly extension of the Iowa-Missouri border through Lee County.) In 1834, the barracks were built at Fort Des Moines, which was located at what is now Montrose.
Land was designated in 1824 for the half-breeds of the Sac and Fox tribes. In 1838, the lands north of the Half-Breed Tract were sold by auction at Burlington. Population of Lee county was 2,839 in 1838; in 1850 it was 18,912; in 1860 29,232; in 1905, 18,006; in 1950, 43,102 and in 1990 it was 38, 687.
The Historic Center is proud to have at the center of its collection a horse drawn Silsby pumper, showcased complete with its hosecart. As part of Ft. Madison's rich heritage of local volunteerism and public service, the Sislby is also complimented by a Firefighter's display and a police department display. Also of interest to many visitors to Ft. Madison is the Iowa State Penitentiary, the oldest Penitentiary still in use west of the Mississippi. A display representing a typical cell at the Penitentiary and pictures of the original stone Penitentiary structure are often topics of discussion for visitors, particularly after viewing the many artifact restraints on display. The Historical Society is thankful to the Iowa State Penitentiary for its loan of these artifacts for the public to view.
Other artifacts on display include Victorian Era Clothing, a Native American arrowhead collection, a working Thomas Edison phonograph, and a reed organ that runs by continuous pumping of air by the operator.

Murder and Shootings
NOPD Recruitment
Is The French Quarter Safer?
Is the French Quarter safer with the State Police and French Quarter Patrol supplementing NOPD? It is such a simple question, but any attempt to answer it is challenging due to the complexity of the issue. Ultimately, analyzing the available data provides no evidence of an overall crime reduction in the French Quarter although there are definitely areas that have seen improvement. Adding these elements, however, have likely assisted with replacing NOPD's manpower losses and may have been helped prevent French Quarter crime from rising.
French Quarter crime since 2011 can be analyzed using publicly available Calls for Service data from the City of New Orleans. These data sets breaks down all calls by NOPD district, and from there I teased out calls which occurred only in the Quarter. I then further broke down French Quarter Calls for Service by those that are fall under the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Part I category. These include only the most serious person and property crimes: homicide, assault, robbery, rape, arson, burglary, theft and auto theft.
The State Police were assigned to the French Quarter full time from July to early November 2014 and then again from the beginning of Mardi Gras season 2015 to present though there was a small gap in State Police presence after Mardi Gras 2015 before they returned full time. The French Quarter patrol began in late March 2015 and continues to this day.
The below chart measures the number of Calls for Service over 90 days for a UCR crime with a 'Report to Follow' (RTF) disposition in the French Quarter. In this way Calls for Service is an excellent measure of crime trends as there's a very strong correlation between the two.
If French Quarter crime were down it should be easily seen on this chart. The chart does suggest crime dipped from the beginning of 2015 until the end of summer but the chart also shows crime rising since mid-2015. Overall this chart shows French Quarter crime has sloped gradually upward since 2013. This chart also shows a more dramatic bump in crime over Mardi Gras than any of the past few years.
It's not quite an open and shut case, however, for a few reasons.
One problem in analyzing French Quarter crime trends is that NOPD changed the way it reported crime beginning on January 1, 2014. An October 2013 Inspector General report found NOPD was improperly categorizing potentially stolen wallets as either 'Miscellaneous' or 'Lost or Stolen' rather than 'Theft'. The former two are not counted as UCR crimes whereas the latter is. NOPD agreed with this finding and began categorizing many of those incidents as 'Theft by Fraud', a crime not counted in UCR.
It is unclear what effect the policy change has had on crime reporting on the French Quarter as it is not clear the degree to which NOPD is identifying crimes that may have been considered 'Lost or Stolen' from 2011 to 2013 as 'Theft' in 2014 and 2015. Theft in the French Quarter makes up over 40 percent of overall UCR crime there, and theft has risen steadily since 2011. Non-Theft UCR crimes have also risen since 2011 though at a slower rate as shown in the below table. It is possible that part of the rising crime in the French Quarter in 2014 and 2015 is due to NOPD more accurately describing these types of crime though there's no way to know for sure.
Another major problem with analyzing whether French Quarter crime is up or down revolves around response times. NOPD's response time to crimes citywide skyrocketed from early 2015 through October, before falling in the last few months. As response times went up so did the percentage of crimes being identified as 'unfounded' resulting in an artificial deflation of crime statistics.
The relationship between the number of crimes and the percentage of incidents being identified deemed 'unfounded' can be clearly seen below. The blue line represents the number of UCR crimes in the French Quarter over 90 days while the blue line represents the percentage of Calls for Service for UCR crimes that were deemed either 'Unfounded' or 'Gone on Arrival'.
Crime rose in the Quarter in 2014 as the percentage of crimes deemed unfounded dipped from 30% to just over 20%. Crime then fell in the middle of 2015 as the unfounded percentage rose above 30% for a sustained period when citywide response times were at their worst. As response times have come down, crime has risen again.
The dip in French Quarter crime last summer, therefore, may be at least partially explained by worsening response times, and the increase in crime over the last few months can be at least partially explained by improving response times. Response times, however, do not explain the entire dip last summer nor do they explain the rise in early 2016.
Manpower Changes
One explanation for why French Quarter crime appears to have held largely steady since 2014 is that these added resources are backfilling what NOPD has lost over the last few years. The State Police responded to about 10 percent of 8th District Calls for Service over the last 9 months of 2015, but only about half of all calls the State Police responded to in 2015 were in the French Quarter and roughly 70 percent were in the 8th District.
While the State Police and French Quarter Patrol have added law enforcement capabilities to the French Quarter, NOPD has lost strength. NOPD went from 115 8th District officers in May 2013 to 90 in March 2014, a 20 percent drop in manpower over just a few months.
Adding the State Police and French Quarter Patrol to the 8th District has helped replace NOPD staffing losses though even further additions in law enforcement resources may be needed to actually reduce French Quarter crime beyond where it was in 2013/2014.
In this light, adding the State Police and French Quarter Patrol may not have reduced crime, but replacing declining NOPD manpower with these elements may have prevented it from rising further.
Specific Crime Changes
There are at least three crime types that have shifted patterns since 2014 that are worth examining in some detail. Armed robberies, shootings and pickpocket incidents are shown in the table below to provide a bit more nuanced view of changing French Quarter crime. I included shootings (both fatal and non-fatal) that occurred in the Central Business District (CBD) in this count as there has been a dramatic uptick in shootings along the periphery of the French Quarter (along both Canal St and Rampart).
The French Quarter accounted for roughly 4 percent of armed robberies in New Orleans in 2015, and the drop in armed robberies from 2014 to present may be a positive sign of State Police or French Quarter Patrol effectiveness. This drop has come at a time when armed robberies in the rest of the city have been rising and are a crime type that may be deterred by the presence of law enforcement. It is worth noting that armed robberies are a seasonal crime that traditionally rise over the second half of the year, so it is possible that the French Quarter will see an uptick in armed robberies in 2016.
Shootings are rare events that are difficult for law enforcement to prevent. That said, the rise in shootings in the French Quarter and CBD is a troubling pattern that defies easy explanation. Citywide gun violence has fallen about 15 percent from 2010-2012 to 2013-2015 yet the French Quarter and CBD have experienced a rise in shootings since 2014. There have been 33 shootings in the French Quarter and CBD since March 2014 after there were only 26 shootings there between 2011 and 2013.
Finally, the rise in pickpockets so far in 2016 presents an interesting crime trend to analyze. There were nearly as many incidents identified as a pickpocket over Mardi Gras (91) as in all of 2011 (108). It is possible that the change in reporting in 2014 is responsible for this phenomenon although pickpocket incidents were rising from 2011 to 2013 and fell in 2015.
Measuring crime in the French Quarter is tough due to changing policies, small sample sizes and questions about data quality. There does not appear to be much evidence that overall crime in the Quarter has fallen with the additions of the State Police and French Quarter patrol although that does not inherently mean those additions have not provided benefit to New Orleans as adding law enforcement resources to the French Quarter may have prevented further rises in crime.

Protecting Your Relationship
Local ICW Draper
Does my loved one have a substance use problem?
Self-Care: Taking Care of You
When I meet with couples in therapy, I often hear one or both partners say, "I don't want to hurt him/her by saying how I really feel." Or they might say, "I want things to be better between us, but I can't risk getting hurt again, so it's easier to just not bring it up."
By Jessica Gilliland, LAMFT
It is common to protect and avoid emotions, but it often keeps us from connecting.
When difficult emotions come up in a relationship, many times our first instinct is to try and protect ourselves (which might show up as withdrawing, blaming, attacking, or anything in between) or to protect our partner from getting hurt (which might show up as distancing, not speaking up, holding resentment, placating, or lying). We don't like to hurt, and we don't like to see our significant others hurt. While the tendency to protect makes a lot of sense as a knee-jerk reaction, especially when there has been a history of pain in a relationship, it often ends up damaging the strength of the connection between two partners. Protective behaviors might work for avoiding difficult emotions or conversations in the short run, but they also tend to create distance where there could be a connection.
Finding ways to respectfully have hard conversations can protect and strengthen your relationship.
When couples come to therapy with this pattern of protecting one person or the other, I encourage them to think instead about what would protect the relationship. What would create a stronger bond between them–not addressing strong emotions out of fear of hurting or being hurt by each other, or choosing to trust each other by having a hard conversation? Are they more likely to grow closer by sharing their fears with each other, or by dealing with them alone? Usually, the much harder choice (the one that involves having a difficult conversation) is also the choice that will lead to greater strength in the relationship.
Creating safety and space to share feelings and concerns will build connection and strength.
Protecting the relationship by engaging in difficult conversations with the intent to connect will ultimately provide a sense of safety and security for both partners. As their connection grows, they find that they trust the strength of their relationship more and more, even when difficult emotions arise. The relationship becomes their safe place, and they feel more secure when being open and honest with each other than they do when trying to protect themselves or the other person from a distance. These principles of seeking connection, sharing emotions and needs, and finding safety in the relationship are key elements of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT, or EFT). The research consistently demonstrates that EFT can be helpful in increasing relationship satisfaction and couple attachment (or a sense of closeness and safety), both during the course of therapy and after therapy has ended (Beasley & Ager, 2019; Wiebe, et al., 2016).
We are here to help you with this process.
One of the reasons I love being a couples therapist is because I get to witness the process of change and healing that can occur as partners start to take action to protect their relationship instead of their own fears. This process is definitely not easy, and as a therapist, I never try to paint the process of couples therapy as a walk in the park. The work of changing long-standing, hurtful patterns in a relationship can be challenging, but lasting healing in relationships is possible.

Dutch photographer Carla Kogelman has worked in the theatre industry for 25 years. In 2011, she graduated from the Photo Academy in Amsterdam. A year later, she was commissioned by Szene Bunte Wähne, a youth theater festival in Austria, to make a documentary about the rural Waldviertel region. Hannah (7) and Alena (9) are two sisters who live in Merkenbrechts, a village of 170 inhabitants in Waldviertel, an isolated rural area of Austria, near the Czech border. The girls have two older brothers, but spend much of their time together in a carefree life that involves swimming, playing outdoors and doing games around the house. The series Ich bin Waldviertel shows an intimate portrait of the lives of these young girls and how they grow up in the rural mountain area. Seemingly uninhibited they pose a play in front of the camera. The images are timeless and remind us of those long-gone endless summers you experience as a child and a life that was filled with games and exploration.

Seperation
Divorce Poem by Teens
My parents have recently decided to separate I have found this a very hard thing to deal with. I am 15 and have never written poetry before, but one night I was feeling particularly upset so I just let my emotions flow.
When I was five years old my parents divorced. My mom went and got a boyfriend, and I think that's why they broke up. My dad took it really hard and has only been in one relationship since...
© Sophie
One day, the worst in my life
The two that once loved me so,
Ripped my world apart with some few words
That I really wish I had not heard
But that night changed my life
Like the way day turns to night
I had now given up trying to fight.
What happened to richer or for poorer,
For better or for worse?
I look back at those photographs
You two, filled with many content laughs
But that one night, which will never be forgotten
Changed my life, not for better, but for worse
A light had been turned out like there had been a curse.
Perhaps I could have done something
To stop this grim thing
Was it me? Did I play a part in this?
You say it is not so, but how could I ever know?
Perhaps, just perhaps, I could have changed your ways
And I may not be in such a daze.

Poem About A Child's Emotions After Divorce
by Lailani
I can really relate to this poem. My parents have an unstable relationship. My mom's bipolar and my dad has always been the best husband and dad, but my mom is so damn selfish and blind and won't make up her mind. One minute she loves him and the next minute she wants a divorce. She's always going out with her friends and partying and drinking. She never comes home and it seems like she never wants to spend time with me. I just feel so forgotten. My parents have been on and off for 3 years now and I'm 14. I'm so sick and tired of this BS and all my moms empty promises. I've tried talking to her, but everything I say seems to float by her :(
Once we got into a heated argument and I confronted her about her drinking problems and she told me that she didn't care what I thought anymore. She's even raised a hand to me and I was completely caught off guard. To think my own mother would even consider laying hands on me....

When I was five years old my parents divorced. My mom went and got a boyfriend, and I think that's why they broke up. My dad took it really hard and has only been in one relationship since then, that was 10 years ago. He is an alcoholic and used to abuse me. At one point he and my (at the time three-year-old) brother and I lived in a tent on his friend's farm for an entire year, then a trailer, then a small old house behind a train, and now we live in a nicer house, but it's costing more so we're always broke. I've been living with my mom for half the week and my dad for the other half. I'm not one for favoritism, but even though I love my dad, my mom is way better. I'm really tired of my dad always getting pissed at my mom, and my mom making me call my dad to arrange pick-up/drop-off situations because she's afraid of him getting mad at her. He and I have been getting into fights a lot more often now, and I really hate it. It could be worse though ._.

Unless you've been living in a cave this last year, you know that there is a real and present danger facing our American public lands. A group of short sighted law makers would like to sell of your American birthright, or deed it over to states to sell if for them.
I've been fortunate to see several dozen countries in my life, and to fish many of them. I can tell you this with complete certainty. Our public lands are unique and precious. They are what, for sportsmen and women at least, set us apart from much of the rest of the world. I say this, not boastfully, but with great fear. We are on the verge of losing the very thing that makes the country great.

My name is Taylor and I'm the newest member of the Vyond Team, with the role of Video Producer. I've been creating videos for over half of my life and working professionally for just over 8 years now. Here's the first video I made with Vyond, I hope you enjoy!
The very first thing my favorite instructor in film school taught me was "a good video with bad audio, is a bad video." He couldn't have given me any better advice to immediately impact the quality of the videos I created. Bad sound will pull you right out of a video, maybe even make you stop watching it. Aside from music, the use of sound effects and sound design can dramatically enhance the impact of your videos. Whether it's to bring a viewer into the scenes and environments by adding ambient background audio, or to draw attention to certain actions with sound effects, having good audio will draw your viewer in and engage them even more.
For this video, I used a combination of sound effects from Vyond and a sound library I purchased some time ago, but there are also thousands of great (and free) sound effects on the internet if you just take the time to search. Vyond allows up to 3 audio tracks at once, which I primarily used to create the atmosphere and background noise of the scenes. I used Premiere Pro to layer the remaining sound effects so I could be extremely precise in the timing of them, down to the very frame. If that's not as important to you, you can upload your own sound effects straight into Vyond. I matched up sound effects to the actions that I really wanted people to notice.
Objects that have motion blur is how our eyes actually see in the real world. The faster something moves, the more blurry it appears as it passes in front of our eyes. I wanted to add motion blur to the cars in my video to simulate the speed at which they actually pass and give the viewer the same feeling. This effect can be achieved by more experienced video creators that are familiar with Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.
Finish your Vyond video (without the props you want to motion blur) and export a HD version.
Screenshot any Vyond prop on a solid color background that you want to add motion blur to.
Import the screenshot into Photoshop and remove the background so the prop is now on a transparent layer.
Import the transparent layered file and your Vyond video file into After Effects, add both to a new composition.
Give the prop a motion path by keyframing in position, enable motion blur for the prop's layer, then enable motion blur for the composition.
If you're not quite sure how to do all that, but would like to give it a try, check out these tutorial links from YouTube.
Adding motion blur to certain movements can add new layers of excitement to the motion in your videos.
One of the first features I fell in love with inside Vyond is the Camera Movement tool. I wanted to zoom out to reveal the setting in which my character existed, while matching the framing of my character from the previous scene. I figured out a way to do this, by making my character very, very small in the scene of the lake, then started with the camera WAY zoomed in to match the frame size and position of my character in the previous scene. This way, I was able to make a match-cut between scenes and then zoom out to reveal where my character had moved to. Here are some screenshots to help clarify.

Q: How to load local html file in alamofire? I'm currently making a web application and need to load a local index.html file as the url, but i'm kinda lost. I'm familiar with the loadHTMLString from WebKit, but kinda lost when using alamofire.
I've tried to loadHTMLString in WebKit with webView with great
func registerShift() {
   let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "index", withExtension: "html")!

   let parameters = [
      "brugernavn": "user@email.dk",
      "password": "testPass"
   ]

   Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding.httpBody).responseString { response in
      switch response.result {
      case .success:
        if let value = response.result.value {
           print(value)
        }
      case .failure(let error):
           print(error)
      }
   }
}

I expected the website to actually submit the form, however instead it printes the HTML of the local index.html. The local index.html file is just a simple form containing input (name = brugernavn) and input (name = password).
